Alternative 1 Heat Recovery Systems
The proposed mechanical redesign will replace the 100% OA AHU units with units containing heat recovery system. Different heat recovery systems will be evaluated: enthalpy wheel, plate heat exchanger, heat pipe, and runaround loop.
Alternative 2 Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) with Chilled Beam
The other proposed mechanical redesign is to utilize the DOAS system to supply only ventilation air to the space and use chilled beams as the parallel system to meet to rest of the sensible load in the space.
